Hey there i was messing around with my sensors and obviously i triggered my rain sensors. Is there i way i can set those records back to 0? Which files would i need to update to make sure everything is accurate. I says it was a record day so a few files would have been updated.

My first port of call would be the Edit menu in Cumulus, you can change most incorrect readings there.

All records for all time, monthly, this month, this year can be edited from the edit menu if you either fetch the correct readings from the log file or the dayfile ( in the Cumulus data folder) once you have corrected the log file or dayfile or type in the correct readings into the editor. The dayfile can be edited with the dayfile editor under edit. The log file (December 2012 is Dec12log) is edited either when opened in a text editor or use Cumulus toolbox as it loads the file into the table making it much easier to edit. You can also look at the alltimelog in the Cumulus data folder if it broke an all time record to see what the figures was before the new record. Under edit, Today's rain you can edit today rain but it does not change the all time, this month, this year and the log file used for the graphs for example, it only adjusts the rain total for today if it is wrong.

It also may have affected your current wet/dry spell so that is edited in the today.ini file in the Cumulus data folder under ConsecutiveRainDays and ConsecutiveDryDays. If this happened before today you need to edit the dayfile and if it happened yesterday you may wish to edit the Yesterday total under rain in the yesterday.ini file but that figure will disappear tomorrow when a new yesterday is created.

Details on the log file and dayfile format and the edit menu are in the help file in Cumulus under "Data log file format" ,under "The Displays" is "The Records (Highs and Lows) Editors" and "The Dayfile.txt Editor".

OK thanks guys.

My set up updates the log files (eg Dec12log.txt) every minute.
I suppose that that is a bit over the top and not everybody will do it.
But it occurs to me that with that amount of archive detail it should be easy to write a short program which will recreate all the other log files.
Just delete them all (or just move them to a safe location) then run the program.
There might be a need for the program to do some calculations (eg degree days) and it might churn away for a while. But it should be easier to amend incorrect readings in one place only - ie the Dec12log.txt file.

Generally, that's all you need to do anyway. Cumulus can recreate all (just about) of the other data from that one file. It's a few clicks rather than just the one, but it doesn't take very long to do.
